Option B is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to identify which of the following equations has exactly one solution.

We will solve each equation to find the answer

A. $ax+b=ax+b$

Solving and finding value of x:

$ax+b=ax+b\\ax-ax=b-b\\0=0$

This equation has infinite number of solutions because both sides are equal to 0

B. $ax=bx+c$

Solving and finding value of x:

$ax=bx+c\\ax-bx=c\\x(a-b)=c\\x=\frac{c}{a-b}$

This equation has exactly one solution

C. $ax+b=ax+c$

$ax+b=ax+c\\ax-ax=c-b\\0=c-b$

This equation has no solution because both sides are not equal.

So, Option B is correct.

Evaluate the following integral using trigonometric substitution.

wariber [46]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Given the integral function $\int\limits {\sqrt{a^{2} -x^{2} } } \, dx$ , using trigonometric substitution, the substitution that will be most helpful in this case is substituting x as $asin \theta$ i.e $x = a sin\theta$ .

All integrals in the form $\int\limits {\sqrt{a^{2} -x^{2} } } \, dx$ are always evaluated using the substitute given where 'a' is any constant.

From the given integral, $\int\limits {7\sqrt{49-x^{2} } } \, dx = \int\limits {7\sqrt{7^{2} -x^{2} } } \, dx$ where a = 7 in this case.

The substitute will therefore be $x = 7 sin\theta$

2.) Given $x = 7 sin\theta$

$\frac{dx}{d \theta} = 7cos \theta$

cross multiplying

$dx = 7cos\theta d\theta$

3.) Rewriting the given integral using the substiution will result into;

$\int\limits {7\sqrt{49-x^{2} } } \, dx \\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{7^{2} -x^{2} } } \, dx\\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{7^{2} -(7sin\theta)^{2} } } \, dx\\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{7^{2} -49sin^{2}\theta } } \, dx\\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{49(1-sin^{2}\theta)} } } \, dx\\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{49(cos^{2}\theta)} } } \, dx\\since\ dx = 7cos\theta d\theta\\= \int\limits {7\sqrt{49(cos^{2}\theta)} } } \, 7cos\theta d\theta\\= \int\limits {7\{7(cos\theta)} }}} \, 7cos\theta d\theta\\$

$= \int\limits343 cos^{2} \theta \, d\theta$

Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and

iren2701 [21]

If the model is good, then both points will check in the equation. Substituting 8 for x and 5 for y in the equation results in 56 – 50 = 3, which is not true. Therefore, the model is not good. Using (–12, –9) as a check results in –84 + 90 = 3. The constant value in the equation should be 6, not 3. In slope-intercept form, the y-intercept should be –3/5.
